Unit shipped complete with unit, cable, and power control center. 50Hz applications do not receive a Power Control Center. Unit average weight is between 900-950 lbs or 410-435 kg. Minimum operating depth is 48in or 1.2m. The fountain intake must have a minimum flow rate of .5ft/sec (15cm/sec) for every 6 inches (15 cm) of water. Spray performance and pumping rates are approximate and may vary due to voltage, elevation, inadequate water flow, and relative humidity. These units require a clean source of water. They are not intended for use as a water quality management tool.

  1. 1

    Special polyethylene float allows for easy height adjustment to make it less visible in the water.

  2. 2

    High quality Grundfos pump and Franklin 3450/2875 RPM motor ensure years of corrosion-resistant, trouble-free run time and no maintenance.

  1. 3

    Large center wheels assist installation and removal eliminating the need for cranes and hoists in most applications.

  2. 4

    Removable stainless steel intake screen allows for cleaning in the water and protects pump from debris.

Dimensions: 10HP &15HP = 100in (254cm) x 74in (188cm) x 40in (102cm); 25HP = 120in (305cm) x 90in (229cm) x 40in (102cm), with and without lights.

Installation

The Triad arrives partially assembled and installation can be performed in just a few steps.

  1. 1

    Install Power Control Center Power control center is mounted onshore; a certified electrician is recommended to perform this step.

  2. 2

    Lay Power Cable Bury/trench power in conduit to pond edge, connect plug to unit.

  3. 3

    Launch System in Water With the large wheels the Giant Fountain can be rolled and launched into the water (a boat launch or ramp can ease the process). A crane or hoist can simplify the process, while ponds with steep banks will require a crane.

  4. 4

    Adjust Floatation Sections of the float allow you to adjust buoyancy to lower float profile in the water.

  5. 5

    Secure/Moor into Place Unit features a 3-point mooring system. The use of a boat may be required to simplify the process.

  6. 6

    Operating Depth The unit intake must have a minimum flow rate of .5ft/sec (15cm/sec) for every 6 inches (15 cm) of water. Water depth must be deep enough for the unit to float during use.

  7. 7

    Operating Temperature Giant Fountain motors run best in water temperatures below 86° Fahrenheit or 30° Celsius. Running the motor in water temperatures higher than that may decrease the life of the unit.

Maintenance & Winterization

Maintenance

The Giant Fountains require no routine maintenance. If the screen becomes clogged, the basket type screen can easily be removed while the fountain is in place and cleaned with a wire brush.

Winterization

Giant Fountains must be removed in climates that experience cold winters and frozen waters before lakes freeze over. The motor and pump must be stored in a heated area that stays above 32° Fahrenheit or 0° Celsius.
